ALBERT EINSTEIN

If you can’t explain it to a 6-year-old you don’t understand it yourself.

LEONARDO DA VINCI

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.   

JIM JARMUSCH

Nothing is original, steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only the things to steal from that speak directly to your soul, if you do this your work and theft will be authentic: authenticity is invaluable, originality is non-existent and don’t bother concealing your thievery, celebrate it. Always remember what Jean-Luke Godard said “it’s not where you take things from its where you take them to.”   

ERNEST HEMINGWAY

Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all you have and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
